Fields of Fuel @ Sundance 2008 – Day 1

08-20-09

This is the worst day of my life. This is what it is like being a producer. All you do is get aggravation. And then eventually there is glory. I am waiting for the glory.

We do. We have a film to screen. We showed it last night. It looked absolutely gorgeous.

We’re doing a video log. We’re going after 35 million people on the conscious network. Josh is going to be on there…

So Christina is Josh’s assistant. Tell us, what is it like to work for the messiah?

Hahaha, it’s been fun.

Good answer!

So the reaction of the film was good?

Amazing. People cried. People were moved. People were touched. They love the film.

What are we on Pacific time, mountain time?

We are on mountain time right now.

(conversation, sorting tickets). What about you and me? He never got his tickets. He’s the director.

We are short 5 tickets. We are supposed to get 36 tickets and we have 34.

But you said you were short 5.

But thank you for getting those 2 tickets. Your welcome
(Introduction to Greg to Caroline Libresco)
She loves me. You just hugged me.

INAUGURATION DAY!

01-20-09

Here at Al Gore’s green inaugural ball, the people are going nuts, the emotions are high.

I believe that a black man can work hard and succeed. We, we could be content to believe, that he, he will be in charge of the free.

What’s most important is that people see change, and the change looking for is what Barack Obama has provided to the green community.

Tomorrow a new day begins. We need to change the way we use energy, the way we treat the earth, and you’ve heard me say it, many places on many occasions. We’ve got everything we need, save perhaps political will, but we prove tomorrow at high noon, that in the United States of America, political will is indeed a renewable resource.

The constitution of the United States. Preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States. So help you god? So help me god. Congratulations Mr. President.

It’s packed out here. People of all faiths and all colors are all coming out for the celebration of our new president, Barack Obama. It is true, America’s spirit is alive today. You can feel it, you can see it. The spirit of independence. The spirit of what it is to be in American, to be free.
